Imagine how good it would be with Bill Murray
Sophie’s Choice
The Odd Angry Shot
For me there are 2. The Reader, which actually enhanced the book for me. I had picked up the book at the thrift store probably 15+ years ago, and thought I was only person on planet that had read.
Strangers when we meet, same as above. Some random purchase, really interesting old book, and stumbled across it on some old AMC tv channel.
And lastly, Cold Mountain. Movie stayed true. Loved the characters. And, was such an epic book, there was no way to capture it truly without it being a mini series. (Side Note: I binged on corn during entire read!)
I’m a reader, nit5a mathematician…3. Lol
I HATE my new phone. Not a Mathematician “
Accidental Tourist
I just reread the book and then had to order the movie.
The Help.
Gone Girl.
“To Kill a Mockingbird”, “Zorba the Greek”, “Being There”
I loved Zorba the Greek movie. Didn’t know it was a book! ?
@Suzanne I recommend you read it. More philosophy in it over the mind-body struggle played out in the movie’s two leads.
Dolores Claiborne
“Anna Karenina”
Ok. Now I have to watch. Thanks!
Gone with the wind
Yes!
Shutter island
“Lust, Caution” written by Eileen Chang and directed by Ang Lee. Sorry there is no book translation; originally written in Mandarin Chinese. It is a short spy story. Ang Lee invented the leading female character’s personal history to explain her behavior. It gives the story psychological depth that the book lack.
I also found Ang Lee’s movie “Broke Back Mountain” is better than the book.
I would tell you, but I can’t. You see the first rule is. . .
Lonesome Dove
Pride and prejudice and the color purple
Gone With the Wind and To Kill a Mockingbird
I am interested in how Sharp Objects comes off on HBO
Tfios
Hunger Games was close. Only thing that got me was in the first book, Katniss gets her mockingjay pin from the mayor’s daughter. This symbolizes that many in the government did not support the Games, which we see later in the book/series. In the movie, she gets the pin from one of the women at the market. It became a different symbol. This always bothered me, but I do still really like the first HG movie.
Agreed on all parts.
Lord of the rings
The Book Thief
Either version of Nosferatu.
Princess Bride
Stand By Me
One flew over the cuckoos nest .
I HATE the movie ending, but otherwise they did a great job
Wonder
Fight Club
breaking dawn
I thought they did a pretty good job with The Hunger Games. Some parts missed the mark a little but the casting was spot on for me.
1) God Father
2) Pride and Prejudice- BBC Mini series.
Jurassic Park, both were good
Outlander is pretty close to the books but occasionally I get disappointed with the show when they cut some of the good scenes.
The Constant Gardener.
Mystic River
The price of salt/carol
I don’t compare. ? So I usually always love adaptations
Lonesome Dove (tv miniseries) and The Joy Luck Club
LOTR
Maybe not the best but still good. A Man Called Ove was pretty on point.
And the fucking worst adaptation: Ready Player One
Practical magic. Actually preferred the movie which is a first
They have a prequel out ?The rules of magic , it is very good so far ..
A walk to remember
